SPACE NEWS - Blue Origin launched its third crewed suborbital flight in two and a half months June 29, sending to space a group that included a married couple and a lawyer in legal trouble.
The company’s New Shepard vehicle lifted off from Launch Site One in West Texas at 10:40 a.m. Eastern on a mission designated NS-33. A previous launch attempt June 21 was scrubbed because of high winds, and the company also called off a launch attempt June 22 because of weather. Blue Origin postponed this launch by more than an hour, citing cloud cover.
